M240 1GB vs M250 2GB volume level/ response time I have both the 240 and 250 players. the 250 doesnt seem to have near the volume level as the 240 and the 250 seems much slower to respond to button presses than the 240. I have the 4.1.08 firmware installed. Any suggestions?

Thanks Wagner. I will set it that way and see if anything changes over the next day or two and post back here.So much for a day or two, I just tried it and it is very loud now. Mine wasnt refurbished, I bought it new in the package. Werid bug for sure.

Hi Mark: I found that there is a bug in my 250 at least (it was refurbished) which makes the volume drop way off if I don't have all the equalizer settings in 'custom' set to EXACTLY FLAT. If you do that and OK it with the checkmark, on mine, suddenly the volume goes up. Sorry no idea what firmware I have.

same problem over here! I just got mine yesterday. It's the pink one, 160gb. Everything else works cherry so far. For me, the mic is not worth the hassle of returning since i will probably rarely use it (if ever). If there is a fix though, I'd definitely love to know! Thanks for starting this discussion!

I thought the same thing, so I emailed 66 audio to see if they were indeed the same. They responded very quickly stating that the Soundbots were knock offs made to look like their product, but using inferior bluetooth and sound components. This appears to be true as these are BT 2.1 and the 66 audio ones are 4.0. One of the main complaints in the comments in these is signal dropping, while the 66 audio has very little complaint regarding that. I suppose you take a chance with whatever you buy when you can't try things out first, however, 66 audio claims that they are not the same, and that they are in fact currently in litigation with Soundbot over the issue.

Would appreciate someone explaining significance of playing UMS/MSC on 2000 but not MTP. I have 2000 and only need the device to provide stored music (CD'S and downloaded stuff including protected WMA) input for my stero system.

I got my BD-P2500 today. They first thing I tried was to upgrade with BD-P2550 firmware. I tried both CD and USB methods. Unfortunately the player is clever enough to know it's being upgraded with the wrong firmware. Upgrading with the correct BD-P2500 firmware worked fine.Too bad. So sad.

I guess you mean M-80 vs M-100. M-80 has more of a overall balanced sound signature, perfect for almost everything, be it classical music or dub step. M-100 is more bass heavy and has been deemed more suitable for similar music, although people who have already dished out $300 for the M-100 would disagree.I own M80 and I've listened to M-100. I would recommend M-80 but for around $90 if you are vigilant and keep an eye out for "As New" on Amazon Warehouse Deals. That's where I found mine two years back, literally brand new for $113.

I have the M50 and I bought the M25 for my brother. When you turn on the M50 it tells you "power on, battery high or medium, if that's the case, then connected". The M25 tells you how many hours talk time you have left. When fully charged it says " you have 11 hours talk time". I LOVE that! Plus it costs less than the M50. I am going to get a M25 for myself.

I currently have both the 430 ex II and 270 ex , I am thinking hard about returning the 430 ex II. In P , AV, or manual mode the only real difference I see is the range, the 430 is about 16 feet better. And the 270 does bounce it does not rotate.

Mine sounds great, only on volume number 22. I played MP3 via a flash drive, sounds really good, even at higher volume.

I have only played one 45 on it. I just played it as i would a 33. No issues with tracking or sound quality.

Hey MelissaS, I've been researching the Garmin GPS's for a couple of weeks and can tell you the differences I've seen. The 255W has a few of "new" features in their 2x5 line but the two that I've seen people the most happy with in the reviews I've read are the satellite "hotfix" and the faster processor. The "hotfix" is supposed to speed up satellite acquisition immensely by having the unit remember where it was turned off last so it can calculate where the satellites should be when you turn it back on and from what I've read it works like a charm. The faster processor will speed up things like map drawing and looking up points of interest which people have really seemed to also notice in their reviews. The big drawback of the 255 and 255w is the text to speech voice quality (this is the voice that pronounces street names). Apparently the voice quality isn't as good on the 255 line as it is in the previous products due to the voice engine Garmin has used in this model...most people I've read say they can live with it but some bring it back due to the quality. I would goto a store and try both side by side to see if you can live with the quality. I did that today and was able to understand what the 255w was saying even in a busy store but still think I'll wait for the 265WT in October. Hope that helps!

The 880 has awful sync (unusable) and poor SSB. The AM seems to be improved from the 660 as is the user interface. The 880 has far better sound. For AM and FM it's the 880. For SW it's the 660. If I could only have 1??? The 660 for sure. 880 not ready for prime time at all on SW.

I had it 3.5 hours before it froze on me. Wouldn't ever get past the SANSA logo screen after that. I would not recommend you get another of any of the M200 series at all. The discussions on them are the same as here. The M240 is filled with more like this. It's a bug in the production process or something. I wonder how many have had the same problem but not posted or given a review?

Also trying to decide between the two sizes. I think I have read that the control buttons on the larger, 3.5" unit are harder to find and use than those on the smaller, 2.8" unit. Can anyone confirm this? I think I read that the volume control requires use of a drop down menu on the larger -- hard to do when sleepy at night. Am I right or wrong? Thanks.

The people having problems didnt take the time to update to the newest and correct firmware. Even the one I ordered had issues when I first tried it. After the update and applying the correct in game settings, everything worked perfectly and continues to this day. I hope this helps.

I was the one that posted the comparison of sound between the 400 and the 210. The 210 is easily superior in sound. I am quite surprised no one else has brought this up. Doesn't anyone care about good stereo sound quality through their ear plugs?

I've used the DWA-125 version with 1.40 Firmware and it works fine for me. I ordered a replacement 125 that arrived with firmware 1.50 and it doesn't work...or the whole thing is broken. Makes me wonder if you can install older firmware on an adapter with newer firmware.
